He and his brother Prometheus were given the task of populating the earth with animals and men.

1. Being a Landlord Is Not a 9 to 5 Job. The daily life of a landlord is much more impromptu than structured. It is not the type of life where you get to work at 9:00 a.m, go to lunch at noon and leave at 5:00 p.m. One day you may have one hour of work to do while the next you may have fifteen hours of work.
The most basic way of doing this is to take the annual rent (remember, this increases each year by fixed escalations and taxes) multiplied by the lease term, minus the free rent, minus tenant improvement capital that the landlord is giving you to improve the space. Thereâs more to the deal than monthly rent. Thereâs always the one guy on the floor who brags that heâs paying the lowest rent; thatâs the schmuck who let the landlord pull the wool over his eyes into thinking that low rent automatically makes a good deal. Thereâs a lot more to it than that.
